Tish is a self taught artist, who came to painting late in life because of 2 minor strokes and severe Rumatoid Arthritis. But that doesn't stop her from painting, getting her inspiration from Bob Ross, Thomas Kinkade and David Bellamy who are Tish's favourite artists.

It was David's work that inspired Tish to visit North Wales to see for herself what David painted, although she is no where near David's league and doesn't climb mountains.

Tish loves to absorb the changing colours of North Wales, even on a wet day as it is "magical with colour and texture and it pulls my soul" Tish says.

Tish also loves the North Yorkshire Moors with it's vast open marshland and soft light. "I find peace and inspiration although I am restricted to places I can get to by car or the railway " Tish says, and Yes the railway is another passion Tish enjoys. Tish paints in oils and watercolour both very differant mediums.

Tish lives in Hull, with husband and best friend Paul and they have 4 grown up daughters with 4 grand children who also enjoy painting.
